Oh the dust the horrible DUST
Rising in clouds at evry gust,
Over the housetops the street.
Over the heads of the people you meet,
Flying.
Binding.
Whitening curse!
Horrible dust What could be worsel
Blowing to touch fair iady's cheek
And darhen it all with soiling streak,
Horrible dust from the regions below.
Bad as demon. Oh why won't you go!
Oh the dust, the horrible dust!
How the specks settle in thickenng crust
Swirling about in their maddening race
How they remove from our life every grace;
Selling.
Black'ning
Sitting in,
They change each smile to a sickenng grin;
And even the dogs with bark and howl,
Sneak off to express their complaints in growl;
The town is all mad, filled with shame and disgust
At another assault Of the horrible dust.
